Before you buy

1. Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
2. Verify windscreen recall completion and identify the installed screen.
3. Confirm luggage-case recall completion and check rear-reflector visibility.
4. Ask about engine, electrical and steering repairs and any crash history.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any BMW dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
